I was equally surprised. I assumed the battery was new(ish) until I noticed some clipping when I hit the low E.

I thought it was originally designed to be permanently on, because they thought the current draw was so small that it would not matter much.

It makes me want to leave the cable plugged in permanently and just see how long (and how low the voltage, more importantly) until it stops working well. I like measuring things
